You should go back and actually READ my post. I didn't say I PAID 18.98, I said that it was standard retail price.

In the music business, CDs are set at an artifical retail price. Then, distributors/stores get "free" copies thrown in when they buy a certain number of copies. This way the record company can rip off the artist by saying that they only "sold" X copies, when in fact it could be a multiple of X.

Very few stores actually sell at retail. Sometimes places like HMV/FYE/Virgin Megastore will have retail price marked on their CDs, and then put them on sale.

As I said in my post, it will probably be 9.99 somewhere, like at Best Buy. No, I wouldn't pay 18.98. If you look around at Amazon.Com, though, you will see that many of the newer releases show as list price 18.98. Green Day's American Idiot was one that I noticed listing at 18.98 when taking a quick look.

I wonder why Amazon still hasn't updated the cover image yet. They seem to have been a slow adding Corgan's album. After all there is tons of albums coming out after June 21st that were added sooner and with a picture. Doesn't sound like Warner is pushing distribution too hard for this.
